The Herdade da Figueirinha is a property with 1680 ha situated between Beja and the Roxo dam. It was recovered for the purpose of rural tourism, agricultural and animal production. The diversity of animals in the property is large: lamas, ostriches, ponies, pigs, bulls, horses, camels and others.

Inside the cache a map is available (only for consultation) with the ways that can be travelled along the field. Despite being dirty roads, they are well maintained and can be covered by conventional cars.

In the mid 20th century, there were a great number of stonecutters working in the quarries all over the country. In Alcains alone there were five hundred. Nevertheless, today there are only a few. The expenses with the workforce, the appealing emigration and mechanization, among other reasons, led to the decline of this art. The stonecutter museum, created by initiative of the Alcains community, today is part of the autharchy. It is a place for the study, preservation and divulgation of the work and experiences of the stonecutter anywhere and any time with no geographical or historical limits, showing that the stonecutters in Alcains play a important role in the adventure of civilization that is the man relationship with stone.
The aim of this museum is to keep the traditional techniques and knowledge active so as to respond to the conservation and restoration needs of the building patrimony. This stonework shows the value of the stonecutter's craftsmanship, patience and sensitivity.
